Mundus 9-5, Oblivion weekends
EDITED 6TH OF NOV., 2023: Oh boy! Please be advised, there is a lot I am working on in the vein of necromancy again! Please read last post made on this day!
EDITED 24TH OF FEB. And rather than re-linking builds to the site I used years ago (the links don't appear to work anymore), I made my own perk tree maps for my builds. Click here to see all my current character builds (that aren't level one playthroughs, obviously)
I play Skyrim. Like others that do, I end up gaining experience in skills, harvesting plants, and lots of other things that can be done when you're doing them... I'd like to include builds that I have made and other things I've learned, etc.
To begin:
Altmer / level 1 / Failed Hobbyist Necromancer / Altimer
Build status: Non-applicable
Additional corpse notes: I seem to recall having already tried keeping the members of the Companions in the past; or perhaps it was from reading what others wrote in Living with the Dead-- either way, I did go and collect them recently; however, unfortunately, they appear to be affected by the script that calls them out to hunt even in death. This affects all but Skjor. So, you can be gone for a time, come back, and then whichever random members will have disappeared and "gone out to hunt." I haven't found a solution to this yet. It may be possible to keep them by breaking the script somehow.
It's also pretty easy to break Farkas. I don't know much about the rest, because I was just in collecting mode. It seems like if you hit him after a fight, he'll be a frozen body on the next reanimation. Honestly, it's been so long since I last went rooting out reanimation bugs and such, so this behavior is far from thoroughly observed.
Oh, and apparently I'd killed Lydia and left her with the cow in Whiterun. I recall this inspired me to collect all the housecarls with Farelda.
Current mission: Find a way to keep the Companions. Gah!
Khajiit / level 26 / Necromancer/Axe Specialist / Tajiin
Build status: Complete
Additional corpse notes: I don't expect anyone to go through all the pages of Living with the Dead to find my notes on Ancano and how to GR him. I'll update that stuff here when I get around to it.
Current mission: Tajiin wants to get Cicero. So, he's slowly working through the Dark Brotherhood.
Nord / level 32 / Vampiric Cryomancer / Opal the Dragon Slayer
Build status: Complete
Additional corpse notes: I'll include what I can about the guys from Bloated Man's Grotto and Broken Oar Grotto when I get around to it. It's all in Living with the Dead, of course.
Redguard / level 34 / Necromancer/Runner / Dastan the Runner
Build status: Complete
Additional corpse notes: I believe I wrote down how to get "working" Forsworn versons of Madanach and his gang in Living with the Dead. I'll add that here eventually.
Salma is acquired by not completing Coming of Age.
Current mission: Acquire Adelaisa, Mjoll, and Derkeethus to complete the merc/follower collection.
Dunmer / level 40 / Vampiric Necromage / Farelda
Build status: Complete
Additional corpse notes: Rigel, unbeknownst to me, had respawned. When I came back to Skyrim and entered Pinewatch for the heck of it, my undead necromancer heart skipped a beat. Seeing Rigel lying in bed there about made me burst out crying tears of joy.
Apparently, as I read now, Lob's max level is only 30. The fact he resists at 40 is curious. I'll have to do some experimenting.
Current mission: Not sure. Farelda is feeling pretty content right now.
Khajiit / level 81 / Undead Prizefighter / Riddle "The Legend" Breaker
Build status: Complete
(((Then the stuff below I left alone.)))
In Closing:
I would like to branch off with additional notes on Dead Thralls in general. This will include tips and/or give attention to unique thrall abilities or powers, etc., and offer various items I've learned over the course of the last half year or so. It will take a while to gather the courage for this task. I wish it to be as detailed as needed, thus, making it a project in its own right.
There will also eventually be a collection of notes I've made on Alchemy. This piece will take a length of time dependent on my ability to grab my book of notes and type them in.
I apologise for all delays that will inevitably come about.
...and thanks for reading,
Cheers

To begin:
Altmer / level 1 / Failed Hobbyist Necromancer / Altimer
Build status: Non-applicable
Major Quest Progression:
Main timeline - Done
Civil War - Completed on the Stormcloak's side - For the benefit of acquiring Vlindrel Hall before level 20.
Thieves Guild - Done
College of Winterhold - Completed
Dark Brotherhood - Completed
Companions - Done
Various/Artifacts:
Barenziah's Crown
All the masks.
Other stuff.
Cannots:
Obviously many of the Daedric artifacts cannot be acquired.
Shield of Solitude - Tied to leveling up.
Mjoll's Grimsever - Available at level 14.
Avanchnzel's bugged quest reward - Available at level 16(?) or something.
etc.
Follower: Recently dismissed Jenassa.
Thrall: Kematu w/ ebony sword @ 32dmg & scimitar @ 29dmg
Married to: Uthgerd the Unbroken
Early notes: Arguably my most complete playthrough. I've done a couple other level one playthroughs but come up short. This Altmer is my favourite. The extra magicka helps tons. The Lord Stone. The unfortunate thing about being so complete is that most all the notable bodies are long gone. (I'd started this character before becoming a serious necromancer.)
Later notes: I'm especially proud of the Orcish Sword of Absorption, Steel Plate Helmet, Leather Boots of Hauling, & Steel Warhammer of Ice (15pts of frost dmg). I've found things like Studded Armour of Major Health, but they pale in comparison to a plate helmet or absorb health enchantment on a weapon from random loot. I about fell over when I got the plate helmet. haha... I did have an Elven Bow, too, but I put a dumb enchantment on it. So, I sold it. I hope to find another one.
Also, I moved from Vlindrel Hall to Cracked Tusk Keep recently. I figured Uthgerd was sick of seeing dead bodies lying all over the place.
Body Collection:
Drelas
Afflicted
Kematu
Velehk Sain
Dremora Churl (from Azura's Star)

Krev the Skinner

Adelaisa Vendicci
Skjor
Linwe
I apparently completely forgot about the Master Vampire I used to have at the time of the original post here. Don't know where he went. Luckily, I wrote I got him from Shriekwind here, so I'll go get him back next time I play Altimer.

Khajiit / level 26 / Necromancer/Axe Specialist / Tajiin
Build status: Complete
Major Quest Progression:
Main timeline - Alduin's Wall
Civil War - not started
Thieves Guild - Scoundrel's Folly
College of Winterhold - Completed
Dark Brotherhood - Mourning Never Comes
Companions - not started
Various/Artifacts:
Targe of the Blooded - essential for Tajiin's build
Other stuff, including: not all the masks
Cannots:
Ebony Mail - Available at level 30
Can't think of any others...
Follower: Discmissed Benor ages ago.
Thrall: Bandit Marauder (from Raldbthur)(Redguard)
Early notes: My main aim with this build was to just make everything bleed. Currently lives out of the Abandoned House. The Warrior Stone. Targe of the Blooded's ability to make anything bleed makes this build very fun. Still need to get Witbane. My particular strain of Break Bone gives me 0 reduction to Stamina, so I decided to get them all.
Later notes: I apparently cured myself at some point So long, curious Break Bone disease... Tajiin now lives in Proudspire. The Mages Stone. I've been running around with dual axes. Absorb 1pt stamina on the right, named, Tajiin's Right Paw of Death. That's daedric with an unenchanted elven quality one in the left for use with Elemental Fury. Vanilla bugs with Elemental Fury are kind of aggravating, but it's not game breaking, if you know what to avoid and that.
I was putting together a destruction magic build when I last played Tajiin. That idea hasn't entirely been scrapped, but it has been placed on the backburner.
Oh, yea... And I found the corpse of Nana Ildene in Goldenglow Estate about last week or so. She had Borvir's dagger. Not really sure what I was thinking, but that's that. Now I know where I to find her.

Nord / level 32 / Vampiric Cryomancer / Opal the Dragon Slayer
Build status: Complete

Main timeline - Alduin's Bane

Thieves Guild - Hard Answers
College of Winterhold - Revealing the Unseen
Dark Brotherhood - With Friends Like These...
Companions - not started
Various/Artifacts: (to be updated)
Otar
Cannots:
Complete Loud and Clear (I wrote this, but I don't remember why. I think it was for roleplay purposes... Not sure what to do about that now.)
Complete Staff of Magnus/Eye of Magnus (Revealing the Unseen bugs out this way by keeping the full health version of Savos Aren.)
Shield of Solitude (because I forgot to save a level after finishing the quest.)
Enter Frostmere Crypt (because that'll cause Eisa to be deleted.)
Follower: None
Thrall: Ra'kheran (I believe. I'm sort of in a rut with Opal right now.)
Early notes: Hinted by her name, Opal the Dragon Slayer was meant to be a natural born dragon slayer. Though I am sure she will succeed in this bracket eventually, the emphasis of a typical warrior shifted to one more reliant on thralls. Sorry. I'm hopeless, I know. With a few quick alterations I was able to adapt her into another necromancer. A stunted level 32 vampiric cryomancer, in fact! I got her the full health version of Savos, and then carried on to break Ill Met by Moonlight, and the rest is history. Others on my list will be Thorek and his buddy. Lives in Goldenglow Estate. Mage Stone.
Later notes: As mentioned above, I'm sort of lost as to how to play Opal now. I want to completely re-evaluate her loadout and battle strategy. The way I used to play is not really how I want to anymore, so learning how to get her to be fun during combat will take some time.

You may notice the build is for a level 33. Sadly this is what happens when you mess up, and my dual casting Conjuration paid the price.
Later notes: Not much to add here. I haven't played much Dastan since getting back into Skyrim.

Build status: Complete
Major Quest Progression:
Main timeline - Done
Civil War - Sided with Stormcloaks/Done
Thieves Guild - Hard Answers
College of Winterhold - Done
Dark Brotherhood - Hail Sithis! (sort of staying here so that Commander Maro stays permanent. Not sure if he loses permanency after completing this quest.)
Companions - not started
Various/Artifacts: (to be updated)
Vokun, Otar, Rahgot, Volsung, Krosis, Morokei
Crown of Barenziah
Cannots:
Shield of Solitude (same reason as Opal)
Follower: Dismissed Derkeethus. Now with Adelaisa (in full daedric for whatever reason. Mostly because it's a really amusing, dumb thing to give to a member of the East Empire Company.)
Thrall: Champion of Boethiah & J'darr (J'darr obviously has the Poacher's Axe and a shiv and carries lots of empty skooma bottles. This is a given. J'darr always has to have this loadout.)
Married to: Angrenor Once-Honored
Early notes: Intended to be a more complete body collector since Altimer had long since lost the chance to collect many bodies in the game. Still many names to acquire yet, including some already rewarded on other characters. Living in Vlidrel Hall. Ritual Stone. In the process of amassing a Draugr army. Seeing as how Lu'ah dropped the ball on that one, I felt it necessary to finish what she'd started. Joined the Stormcloaks to later enthrall available housecarl. Have not obtained Lydia yet.
Later notes: As can be seen below, the housecarls collected is completed, as well as the Orc follower collection. Lob resists dead thrall at 40, so I got him on Opal instead. The Atronach Stone. When I left off threeish years ago, I'd begun to play with spell absorption from Circle of Protection to be able to use destruction magic in combat. Now I've, more or less, perfected how to play Farelda by combining paralysis spells and invisibility to avoid dying, letting her thralls be the aggressors. It's incredibly fun.

Farelda lost Weylin, the Bandit Chief with the journal, and Ondolemar. (I'll have to look up my posts to find out if Ondolemar had to be let go.) Brandish is SFR once you get to Battle for Whiterun (have to check posts to make sure), so I couldn't keep him. Was it worth finishing the civil war timeline in place of keeping Brandish? I don't know. It's pretty sad to lose a body. Doesn't matter who it is...
Main timeline - Done
Civil War - Sided with Stormcloaks/Done
Thieves Guild - Hard Answers
College of Winterhold - Done
Dark Brotherhood - Hail Sithis! (sort of staying here so that Commander Maro stays permanent. Not sure if he loses permanency after completing this quest.)
Companions - not started
Various/Artifacts: (to be updated)
Vokun, Otar, Rahgot, Volsung, Krosis, Morokei
Crown of Barenziah
Cannots:
Shield of Solitude (same reason as Opal)
Follower: Dismissed Derkeethus. Now with Adelaisa (in full daedric for whatever reason. Mostly because it's a really amusing, dumb thing to give to a member of the East Empire Company.)
Thrall: Champion of Boethiah & J'darr (J'darr obviously has the Poacher's Axe and a shiv and carries lots of empty skooma bottles. This is a given. J'darr always has to have this loadout.)
Married to: Angrenor Once-Honored
Early notes: Intended to be a more complete body collector since Altimer had long since lost the chance to collect many bodies in the game. Still many names to acquire yet, including some already rewarded on other characters. Living in Vlidrel Hall. Ritual Stone. In the process of amassing a Draugr army. Seeing as how Lu'ah dropped the ball on that one, I felt it necessary to finish what she'd started. Joined the Stormcloaks to later enthrall available housecarl. Have not obtained Lydia yet.
Later notes: As can be seen below, the housecarls collected is completed, as well as the Orc follower collection. Lob resists dead thrall at 40, so I got him on Opal instead. The Atronach Stone. When I left off threeish years ago, I'd begun to play with spell absorption from Circle of Protection to be able to use destruction magic in combat. Now I've, more or less, perfected how to play Farelda by combining paralysis spells and invisibility to avoid dying, letting her thralls be the aggressors. It's incredibly fun.

Additional corpse notes: Rigel, unbeknownst to me, had respawned. When I came back to Skyrim and entered Pinewatch for the heck of it, my undead necromancer heart skipped a beat. Seeing Rigel lying in bed there about made me burst out crying tears of joy.
Apparently, as I read now, Lob's max level is only 30. The fact he resists at 40 is curious. I'll have to do some experimenting.
Current mission: Not sure. Farelda is feeling pretty content right now.

(((Then the stuff below I left alone.)))
In Closing:
I would like to branch off with additional notes on Dead Thralls in general. This will include tips and/or give attention to unique thrall abilities or powers, etc., and offer various items I've learned over the course of the last half year or so. It will take a while to gather the courage for this task. I wish it to be as detailed as needed, thus, making it a project in its own right.
There will also eventually be a collection of notes I've made on Alchemy. This piece will take a length of time dependent on my ability to grab my book of notes and type them in.
I apologise for all delays that will inevitably come about.
...and thanks for reading,
Cheers
